have you lived elsewhere in Canada?

i was born and raised in BC but went to college for two years in ontario - it was quite interesting there - other than that I have lived in a few places in BC - mainly NE BC, mid-vancouver island and the lower mainland

one of the things that i felt or thought when i moved to Ontario was how "American" it felt yet totally Canadian and historical on the other hand

it was also werid to get used to the idea of coming across proper little towns in what you would expect to be nothing in comparison to their location or small population - small out of the way towns in BC are just that - nothing - maybe a corner store or two, a gas station some houses etc. no sense of town at all

albertan towns were about 1000-5000 very different from the small towns out here which rarely go above 1000, never mind 1500.

fanny Bay is 744 spread out over 50 square kilometers, so even thoguh we are actually fairly high pop for small town BC, we feel isolated due to a lack of density.

I am originally from Newfoundland; lived in the US for four years before moving to Windsor three years ago. Windsor is an American city, it just doesn't know it yet (as is the most of South Western Ontario). I have witnessed hockey games being turned off for football; they measure the temperature in fahrenheit and distance in miles… It’s scary…

I was born in Dublin Ireland and brought to Canada by my Canadian parents as an infant.

I've lived in the Calgary area for 13 years of my life. the other 12 i've spent in Vancouver BC (8 years), Lethbridge (well Coalhurst, just north of) AB for 3, Edmonton (1 year). as well as sporadic stints in Chilliwack BC and Grande Prairie AB.

If i could choose home out of any city i've lived in, it would be a toss up between Edmonton and Vancouver.

Lived in Thunder Bay for 2 years in my early teens. It was arguably the best 2 years of my (so far) short life.

I was born in Edmonton, lived there for 7 years, and have been in Calgary ever since.

Does that count as "elsewhere in Canada?"

Grande Prairie - I was born there and lived there on and off for years afterwards, because I have some of my family up there.
